LONG SPRING 16 AND 6 BEAR TRAPS

Long Spring #16 Offset Trap with Teeth (ITEM # 825057)

TRAP NAMES: Long Spring #16 Bear Trap and Long Spring #6 Bear Trap.

TRAP DESCRIPTION: Originally used for large animals like bear, these traps are now produced for demonstrations and decorative applications. They’re still fully functional but the tension of their springs is much less powerful making them unfit for field use.

Pictured to the right up top is the #16 Long Spring in the “offset” design. This model features the “teeth” most people think of when they see a trap of this design. Weighing in at 43 lbs, this trap measures over 42″ long and comes with the heavy link chain attached.

A little further down the page is the #6 Long Spring. This trap is the same size in weight and length but is lacking the teeth. The Jaws of this model will seal tight when closed. Like the #16, the #6 is fully functional but lacking significant spring tension so it’s not designed to be used afield.

As mentioned above, these traps are generally for display only. However, they are functional and can be set with a bit of patience and some BIG C-Clamps.
